I think the answer is it represent the shape of orbitals that electrons can occupy within an atom.
Answer:
Ingredients
2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour.
1 tablespoon baking powder.
¾ teaspoon salt.
1 ½ cups white sugar.
½ cup shortening.
2 eggs.
1 cup milk.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Explanation:
There are 2 moles in 8 grams
Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>
Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions.
To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.
